Thank you Lord for the fruitful year that we had. We could not thank you enough for your generosity and love.

You have showered us with blessings and challenges to make us stronger. You have always been there in what we believed were our downfalls, but now we know that everything you have given us were stepping stones to be hurdled. We thank you for all of them.

This New Year, may we realize that we should always have faith in whatever you have in store for us. Because deal Lord, you are the ultimate provider and no one could surpass you in your generosity.

We pray for every person in this world, that each would recognize you as their maker and God. We pray also for strength and divine wisdom in all that we do, so all our actions would be to glorify you and spread your good news and love.

All this we pray, in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Lord, we rejoice in your presence in our New Year’s celebration. May you bestow your divine spirit in this program that everyone would partake of the joy of your love.

May we see you in each one of us, so that this activity would bring in good cheer and genuine happiness in the hearts of all who are present.

Grant that as we leave after this activity, we would bring along with us the true spirit of the season, that of your all-abounding love.

Make us realize that all our plans for the year ahead, should be based on what you would want us to do, and not on our own selfish motives.

Enlighten up our minds to recognize that nothing could be done unless you permit it, and that our successes are not ours but yours.

May you bless the incoming year for us, so we could all triumphed in the endeavors you have set for us for this New Year and the years to come. In Jesus’ name we pray. Amen.
